Equal pay and pay discrimination

We are seeking views on how we can comprehensively reform the pay discrimination framework so that it works better for workers, businesses and the justice system.

What is being proposed

The Office for Equality and Opportunity is seeking views on how we can deliver a comprehensive reform of the current equal pay framework so that it works better for workers, businesses, and the justice system.

We are seeking views on proposals to fix the areas of the system that are currently falling short. We are also seeking views on how we can address gaps and inconsistencies in the framework currently affecting disabled people, those from ethnic minority groups, and outsourced workers.

We are inviting responses from anyone interested in or affected by these issues. We particularly welcome views from those who may be most affected by the different measures relating to pay discrimination policy, including:

employers trade unions public sector bodies women’s sector, race and disability stakeholders legal experts and practitioners, including HR and pay and reward specialists individuals with lived experience of pay discrimination
